My Travels

I love travel, although I haven’t done a great deal (yet). Pennsylvania, where I was born, is still my most-traveled state and the only one in which I’ve been to western counties. When I was 10 years old, my parents and I went to visit relatives in the Johnstown area; I loved the Allegheny Mountains! In a way, I was already documenting the places we went to on that trip with a mix of photos, postcards and short notes in a photo album.

So far, my travels to other states have only included visiting places on or near the coastline. So, I’ve got a lot of exploring to do in my home state, the rest of those listed in first group below and all throughout the United States. Then there are international destinations on my travel bucket list, one of which I finally visited in Aug. 2014 as a grad student. That trip also brought about my very first air travel experience.

It’s the places I haven’t yet been to that led me to create this page. Whenever I travel to different places for the first time, I’ll just add them to my “where I’ve been” lists. I’m going to work on some creative ways to add visual appeal to this page as well.
